English Libretto or Translation:

RADAMÈSIf I werethat warrior! If my dreamswere to come true! A valiant armyled by me… and victory… and the acclamationsof all Memphis! And to return to you, my sweet Aida,crowned with laurels…to tell you: for you I fought, for you I conquered!

Heavenly Aida, form divine,mystical garland of light and flowers,of my thoughts you are the queen,you are the light of my life.

I would return to you your lovely sky,the gentle breezes of your native land;a royal crown on your brow I would set,build you a throne next to the sun.
